Alice Cooper Calls Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Kids a ‘Fad,’ Condemns ‘the Whole Woke Thing’
He becomes the latest shock rocker to share his distaste for gender-affirming care after Dee Snider and Paul Stanley shared similar views.

This stance seems so off-brand for Dee and Alice. But they are pretty up there in age. I might not want to know my dad's inner thoughts on this, either, I suppose. Still, for glam rockers raging against oppressive authority, it seems like they would have a more progressive take on this.

Aw, that's really disappointing. I always knew Alice Cooper was a Republican but never really dug into Dee Snider, just assuming he was cool from his time telling the PMRC to go fuck themselves. I guess not.
Dee likes to defy categorization, but claims to be both libertarian and centrist. And he has been friends with Donald Trump for a long time, so his early support for Trump's candidacy pissed off a lot of long-time fans. I think, but I could be wrong, that Snyder walked back his political support for Trump.
A long time ago Trump was a liberal democrat. It’s why he has an unusual set of friends on both sides.
The Clinton’s were good friends with Trump.
Early on I could see many democrats supporting him because of his democrat history. Previously trump was very pro-lgbtq rights and supported a single payer system.
Trump is and always has been a textbook narcissist. He doesn't have any specific values beyond his own benefit. He supported the Clintons and democrats in New York because doing so was good for him and his business.
He’s a narcissist in layman’s terms. I’ve never liked the man. It’s not even politics as much as you feel dirty when you meet him. I’ll never understand the cult of Trump.
Your last sentiment is one I’d agree with. You’d think that any rocker from back in the day that was all about being anti authority would tell people to go out there and do what the fuck they want. Hearing an opinion like this feels off brand lol
still, for glam rockers raging against oppressive authority
Did he say he was for the government stopping trans people from making their own choices?
I'm pretty sure that whole generation is getting early onset dementia they all went crazy together at about the same time
As per usual, none of you morons in the comments read the goddamn thing.
"saying that he was “afraid that it’s also a fad"... the star said that he felt children were not mature enough to make major decisions about their gender identity"
His comment was "6 years olds want to play and be kids, shoving "you can be a boy or a girl" down their throat worries me, because they aren't mature enough to make that kind of decision"
A take that hardly anyone would disagree with. And as always, it's a rage bait article meant to role up the idiots on the internet.
Good thing that that's not happening. Nobody is shoving anything down anyone's throats, nor forcing any kid to make life-changing decisions.
(Excluding conservatives and regressives, anyway. And if there are any progressives doing it, they're in the wrong.)
Nobody is shoving anything down anyone’s throats
The catholic church has entering the chat
Yeah, but it's part of the fantasy world they inhabit, and they make voting decisions based on their fantasy world. The fantasy world where liberals cast millions of votes on behalf of dead people (which everyone knows, but no one has ever talked about), can't spend a week in NYC without getting mugged or gang raped, walk down a sidewalk in San Francisco without stepping in human feces, and where woke parents force their 8-year-olds to have gender surgery.
I wonder how many of these "nice but transphobic" people would revise themselves if they knew that even puberty blockers aren't OTC, but require extensive therapy and professional counseling. I mean, it's not a situation many people have direct experience with, so it's easy to fall for fake stories. Of course, I also wonder how many of them don't consider psychologists "real doctors" or psychology itself legitimate science.
Isn’t that exactly what society has been doing for since like ever?
Still today gender roles are forced onto people.
“saying that he was “afraid that it’s also a fad”… the star said that he felt children were not mature enough to make major decisions about their gender identity"
You and Cooper both are setting fire to some pretty large strawmen. Standard transphobic tactic.
It's a take that is based on lies and propaganda.
This is an example of a strawman argument. He's setting up this very specific idea of what is happening, and taking issue with it, when the vast majority of real world interactions are substantially more nuanced and specific to the kid and their family than the fake scenario put forth.
Get your bullshit concern trolling out of here.
"Morons," "idiots." Thanks for your valuable contribution to the conversation.
Noooo, you can't be mad, you need to read what he's saying!
[The same old tired ass debunked a million times transphobic bullshit]
A take that hardly anyone would disagree with.
Yeah, disagreed.
